Protests in Serbia. Made in Russia?
In the video, Serbia may have used LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device) - a long-range acoustic device, which is a directional sound emitter. It is used to transmit loud voice warnings or non-lethal sound effects over long distances.
Main features:
Range: from a few hundred metres to several kilometres (depending on the model).
Loudness: can reach up to 160 dB, which is comparable to the sound of a jet engine.
Directionality: high intensity sound beam with a dispersion angle of 30-60°.
Functions: voice messaging, warnings, and use as a non-lethal weapon to disperse crowds or protect objects.
This thing is used during military and police operations - for riot control, crowd control, perimeter defence of military installations;
For maritime security - protecting ships from pirates, deterring potential threats.
This widow's car is also used by civilian services for emergency notification of the population about disasters and for private security (protection of strategic objects and borders).
LRAD does not cause physical damage, but with prolonged exposure can cause pain, disorientation, temporary hearing loss and other negative effects.
The history of LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device) originated in the early 2000s in the USA and is connected with the need to develop an effective means of sound impact over long distances.
The idea of creating a directional acoustic weapon emerged in the 1990s, when the military and security services faced the problems of riots, maritime piracy and terrorist threats. However, the technology of the time did not allow for the creation of a compact and powerful device with a high range.
In 2000, American Technology Corporation (ATC), later renamed LRAD Corporation, began developing a directional sound system. The project was inspired by attacks on US warships and the need for effective non-lethal defences.
After the terrorist attack on the USS Cole in 2000, the U.S. Navy began actively seeking new ways to prevent threats from small boats and suspicious vessels. ATC proposed the LRAD concept, and the first prototype was unveiled in 2003.
In 2003-2004. - The LRAD began testing in the US military, including the Navy and Army.
In 2005, the gun came to widespread publicity after Somali pirates attacked the Seabourn Spirit cruise liner in the Indian Ocean. The crew used the LRAD to deter the pirates, marking the first documented case of the device being used effectively.
In 2009, police first used LRADs to disperse protests during the G20 summit in Pittsburgh. The device was used to broadcast warnings and create audible discomfort among demonstrators.
Following these successes of LRAD technology, the U.S. Navy began using the devices to protect warships, police around the world adopted LRADs to disperse mass protests, and civilian agencies began using the guns for emergency warning systems during natural disasters.
In the 2010s, LRAD Corporation began producing improved models with longer range, better sound directivity and integration with other security systems.
Today, LRAD is used in more than 70 countries and is available in a variety of models:
LRAD 100X - a portable model for police and private security companies.
LRAD 300X and 500X - medium power units for urban and military applications.
LRAD 1000Xi and 4500X - powerful versions for military, ships and large infrastructure facilities.
LRAD remains one of the most popular non-lethal technologies used for dispersing demonstrations, defence of military bases, maritime security and mass notification.
The exact number of LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device) devices produced and sold is not publicly disclosed. However, it is known that these devices are exported to many countries including Hong Kong, India and Turkey. In addition, LRADs are used in more than 70 countries around the world for various purposes such as law enforcement, pirate protection and emergency warning systems

If we consider the application of LRAD in Serbia, the cost of the issue goes far beyond money. This is not just a device for a few thousand dollars - it is a tool for political pressure, controlling protests and signalling to Europe where Belgrade is heading.
If the Serbian authorities do use the LRAD, it is a clear sign that Aleksandar Vucic's regime is consolidating control using methods typical of Russia, Turkey or China. On the one hand, Serbia continues to talk about EU integration, but on the other hand, it is introducing technologies to suppress protests that do not meet European democratic standards.On the other hand, the use of LRAD is a red flag for the EU, which already criticises Vucic for authoritarian tendencies. The EU can use this as a formal excuse to put the brakes on Serbia's accession negotiations.
Yes, Serbia has experienced mass protests many times, especially in recent years, but if the police have been given LRADs, it means that the authorities are preparing for a large-scale use of new crowd dispersal methods.
LRAD, the cannon allows to block communication of protesters with deafening sound + create chaos and panic fleeing of the crowd (the video shows it all) + avoid direct confrontations but still keep the protesters subdued.
Will the possible use of a gun affect Serbia's relations with Russia? I have no idea. Personally, I don't believe that these widows bought cars on Ebay.
I am more interested in where Belgrade bought such systems from: if LRADs are supplied from the US or EU, it may be an attempt to balance against the West, but if they are bought from Russia or China, it is a different signal.
This means that the Kremlin is actively supplying its allies with technologies to suppress protests (as it does in Belarus or Kazakhstan). Accordingly, Hungary and Slovakia have also received these things to hold on to power
But again, this is not the way out of the situation - the use of sound cannons may cause a new round of protests in Serbia. It doesn't take a genius to realise that the protesters are already looking for, or rather will find, ways to counteract (noise cancelling headphones or acoustic barriers, earplugs), which may lead to new tactics of street clashes + give doping to the protesters (righteous anger).
Moral. The possible use of LRAD in Serbia is not about dispersing protests quickly using modern technology, nope
It is an indicator of the political course of the country.
If Vucic decides to use acoustic weapons against protesters, it will put him in line with those who have already bet on repression instead of democracy. Accordingly, the issue of Serbia's European integration may turn into a rhetorical rather than a real political process
Well, considering the fact that war is about to break out in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it looks like an attempt to set fire to all the Balkans at once. The only question is who wants to do it:
the US, to remove the pro-Katsap Vucic.
Or the rf, whose speciality is controlled chaos -?
One last thing. It is very similar to the Belarusan scenario, when the rf organised protests, the Belarusan authorities gave the bar in terms of suppression and became unruly, after which Lukashenko gave the country to the rf without a fight, because Lukashenko had no more allies.
Or I'm paranoid.
What do you think?
The end.
